Another weekend in the books.  I like the weather so much right now…warm with a breeze…perfect for eating dinner outside. Since P obviously can’t be outside all day, we do little intervals in the sun.  He’s obsessed with “outside” <– his favorite word.  He knows exactly what it means and we think he’s trying to say it himself sometimes.  He points to the door handle and begs to go out nearly every second of the day.  Needless to say, we are in the shady portion of the yard as much as possible. Anyway, we invited some (new) friends… Read more >

My highlights: week 18

I skipped a couple of weeks…but I have some photos uploaded from the past few days so I figured I’d share. Watermelon messes at the farmer’s market.  Adorable. The best freakin’ salad.  Brings back memories of childhood because it’s my mom’s recipe. We are both excited for this one. NuGo bar (chocolate pretzel yummmmm) and Bon Appetit make for perfect naptime material. Lunch date with my mom. And with that, I’m off to soak up family time!

May day

P seems to be waking earlier and earlier these days so my breakfasts are kinda growing in order to hold me over for the long(er) interim between the morning shuffle and lunchtime. Kyle’s a gem of a husband and so unless he has a really early meeting or call, he plays with P for a little bit and let’s me get a workout in. If he can’t, I take the BOB out for a stroller jog that ends with fun at the park.  We actually have a few different parks near us, so depending on which route I… Read more >

Namaste waffles and candy cravings

We hosted some friends for brunch on Sunday and I decided to make waffles.  We also had berries and bacon to accompany the waffles, but the waffles were definitely the feature. I was kinda lazy so I went with a mix.  And since I thought there may be leftovers I went the GF route, so P could enjoy them, too. I’ve never tried any Namaste Foods products but Heather has given the green light on the pizza crust mix so I figured that probably meant the rest of the products would be decent as well.  Anyway,… Read more >

The Thomas

My mom and I took my great Aunt out to lunch last week.  I googled a few places in Napa (near where she lives) and then passed the decision off to my mom, who chose The Thomas.  Aside from the weird name, the place was great!  Awesome staff, awesome ambiance (we ate upstairs and it was a gorgeous day) and awesome food. I got the lentil salad.  My mom got the fried chicken sandwich. We both loved our food (and totally cleaned our plates) but my mom ended up getting sick from hers.  🙁 My drink… Read more >
